The diplomat went on to express his confidence that economic co-operation between the two sides will make strong breakthroughs in the future, with increasing numbers of Monaco businesses selecting Vietnam as their investment destination.

Financiers from Monaco expressed how impressed that have been with Vietnamese socio-economic development achievements, especially in institutional breakthroughs and preferential policies for foreign businesses.

They stated their hope that the Vietnamese Government will support and offer favourable conditions for them to co-operate and conduct business successfully in Vietnam, thereby entering the ASEAN market.

Regarding the prospects of greater co-operation, Michel Dotta, president of MEB, said that although current trade and investment exchanges remain weak, it is undeniable that greater potential exists for links in the Vietnamese market and many fields which both sides are strong in moving forward.

For his part, Guillaume Rose, general director of MEB, said that the group regularly works with the Vietnamese side and currently many businesses which are highly interested in this market. The presence of a large number of entrepreneurs and the Vietnamese Embassy delegation attending the seminar is a vivid manifestation as it contributes to optimising the relationship between Monaco and Vietnam.
